240 volt fuse against 120 volt fuse
the 240 volts means that the max voltage across the fuse that it is designed to operate at is 240 volts
now in the uk we would not put a fuse in that was designed for 120 volts
where 240 volt was specified
in the above case a fuse with a higher voltage...
just checked the current draw from an old tube book
el34 is 1.5 amps times 4 valves = 6 amps
ecc83 0.15 amps times 4 = 0.6 amps
total amps 6.6 amps
(valve 1 the first valve in the chain gets its heater current solid state)
but when you switch on from cold you get a surge voltage...

all fuses are 5*20 mm type (250 volts) slowblow

i can only speak for the uk as a qualified and registered electrician with inspection and test certificate.We are on the 230 volt network (240 actually, european bla bla).
some of our sockets are unswitched and some are switched. this switching is single pole only ie the live is switched on /...
dont be confused by the word valvestate these amps are solid state but use only 1 valve in the first stages and no valves anywhere else merry christmas
